An AwSui Accident Near Easton.
Six boys we're instantly killed on the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, near Easton, Pa,
by passenger train, about o'clock last
Saturday afternoon. Their names are
Walter Heath, John Gregg, Walter Moon,
Charles Bonstein, Manning Gareis and
William Pierce. They were aged from
ten to fourteen years. The boys, seven
in number, had been employed some dis
lance up the line of the road, and were
walking home to Easton over the west
bound track. AS they neared the Chain
Dam they saw train approaching and,
instead of leaving the track entirely, they
kept on until the engine had almost reach
ed them. The engineer was vigorously
blowing the steam whistle and the fire.
man was ringing the bell to warn the
boys Of their danger, and the roar of the
train prevented the boys from hearing the
signals from another passenger train that
was running towards them ON the east
bound track. Just before the trains
reached them, the boys ran to the eastern
track and directly In the path of the ex-
press. They then saw their danger, but
too late to save themselves. In another
instant the engine struck them. Only one
Of the seven escaped alive. He was a
brother to William Pierce, one of the
above unfortunates.
Carols, one Of these boys, was cousin
of Mr. VIM. Gareis, OF this city.

Fire Matters.
The Union Steam Fire Company has re-
ceived an invitation to participate in the
parade Of the Easton Fire Department,
in September next. A meeting Of the
company will be held soon to take action
in the matter.
FL. F. Smith, formerly citizen of this
place, but now living at Port jefferson,
Long Island, wrote to Chief Van Solver
last week, for information in regard to
the best plans and best apparatus needed
for the formation of fire department. =
In the communication Mr. Smith pays a
compliment to the efficiency aud well or
ganized department of our city. Chief
Van Solver answered the communication,
no doubt, in full.
The Board of Engineers will ask at the
next meeting of the City Council, for the
passage of supplement to the ordinance
governing the fire department, for the
formation of Salvage Corps, the object
of which is to attend all fires and be sup
piled with necessary paraphernalia, to look
after all property that is removed from a
burning bulldog, and also be endowed at
the time of fire with police authority. -
This branch of the service has worked
we'll in other cities, and, no doubt, will DO
of advantage here.
The citizens Of Freehold will receive q
new Button engine during the next two
weeks. II was shipped from the works
on Monday last Chief Hulse who was in
our city on the ED inst, extended an in
vitation to Chief Van Solver, ex-Chief
Stockton, Of New Hope and a number Of
the fire laddies, to be present at tho trial,
of which duo notice will be given. 1t
may be well to remark that the decision
of the Commissioners to buy Button en-
CINE, in preference to the others urged,
was reached after reading the recon-
mendation of the Button, giving by Chief
Van Solver. The Union being of that
make, after eighteen years service still in
excellent condition, was good theme up
on which to write
The Furnishing Committee of the Fleet
Wing Hook and Ladder Company, have
purchased new curtains, with which to
adorn the windows of their parlor. 1t
will not be long before the parlor will be
furnished and when 1t is done it will be
in number one style.

A Plausible Inposter.

A Plausible Imposter.
A few days since q man appeared in
this city, and made himself known to
Mrs. Nehemiah Green, Mrs. Samuel Smith
and one or two others, who were heirs, he
claimed, of part of his uncle's property
in California. According to his story
these parties would each heir from ten to
seventeen thousand dollars. A few years
since they each received legacy from a
relative who died in Indiana. This rela-
tive had son who disappeared and was
believed to be dead at the time of the
death of his father. But the man who
came here claimed to be that son, who
had wandered off from home, got ship
wrecked, and finally reached California,
where his uncle lived, by whose death he
and those he was searching out, were en-
titled to share of his property. He
seemed to be perfectly posted as to their
relatives and all the facts of his pretend
ed fathers affairs, and this naturally led
them to have some faith in his story. He
claimed to have been missionary and
pretended to be an ordained minister OF
the NJ. e. Church. After staying around
here few days, be started to go over to
New Hope TO see some one, saying that il
he was not back to dinner, the family
need not wait for him. They might have
been waiting yet, for be has not since been

The Doylestown Democrat of week be-

who is undoubtedly the same fellow as
the one above referred to. II says:
Last week, stranger called at the
residence of William II. Smith, at Erwin
ma, informing Mr.. Smith that he had
gone TO considerable trouble to find him
that he was settling his grandfather 3 es.
tate, who had recently died 10 California,
aged 90 years, leaving an immense for
tune, and informing him that his share OF
the fortune was about $20,00e. While
Mr.. Smith had some doubts about the
matter, two men from Riegelsville came
in search Of the stranger, saying that he
was an imposter. He, however, eluded
them and crossed tho river to French
town, N. j., where he stopped during the
night with q sister Of Mr.. Smith. The
next morning, he took the train and went
to Stockton, N. j., to see another sister
OF Mr.. Smith and intern her Of the for
tune that awaited her. He stayed with
her until the next day. Then be said he
would take walk, and asked the loan OF
silver watch and umbrella. which were
loaned to him, but never returned, as be

Our old Hunterdon county friends, Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel Corle, Jr, celebrated
their 25th marriage anniversary at their
residence a43 north Warren street, Tren-
ton, on the evening of Feb. II, 1887. A
great host of relatives and friends met
with them and enjoyed the festivities OF
Che occasion. The refreshments were
bountiful and Of the best, and the evi.
dence is to the effect that no one arose
from their chairs hungry. Rev. DIR. Stud
diford, of the Third Church of Trenton,
was present, and addressed the assembled
company, though his remarks were d.
rected more particularly to the 'bride
and groom" The presents were beauti-
full and very numerous, embracing nearly
everything in the silver line whether for
use or ornament. Among the display was
noticed seven handsome picket, jars, with
tcnSs each of different pattern. A sill.
yer door gong with electric battery and
wires was another gift. Music on the
family piano was furnished by Mr.. Enoch
Burroughs, and the affair proved most
pleasing one. We have this information
from one who was present. Huntertlon
